"Personal Branding for Dummies" is a business life and career guide that takes readers through the steps of developing and maintaining a personal trademark by equating self-impression with other people's perception. The book has quotes and tips from over 20 professionals, and was written by Susan Chritton, M.Ed., a Master Personal Brand Strategist, National Certified Career Counselor, and executive coach.

"Fashion styles change, but the messages communicated through visual cues or the details of a person's appearance have not," says Jennings. "There is a fine line between expressing one's individuality through styling preferences and the nonverbal messages needed to communicate the qualities that help professionals move steadily upward in their career."
